Former Drake Tight End to Play in Super Bowl
Seattle's defense, ranked fourth in pressure rate, faces Patriots' young QB struggles and key injuries, with Seattle favored due to stronger defense and balanced offense.
- On Sunday, Super Bowl LX in San Francisco pairs the Seattle Seahawks' defense with the Patriots' offense led by Drake Maye, whose pressure issues are a key focus.
- Given those paths, the Patriots faced criticism for a 'Cupcake' run while Seattle reached the Super Bowl as NFC top seed with a 41-6 wild-card win and nine-season total losses of nine points.
- Pass-Rush metrics show the Patriots left tackle Will Campbell has surrendered pressure on nearly one out of every six snaps, while Seattle's front finished fourth in pressure rate despite a bottom-five blitz rate.
- Blocking and tackling will decide, with turnovers and sacks central to the result, leading to a predicted Seahawks win, denying Maye a championship.
- Seattle's run defense, best in league, faces the Patriots in a Seahawks vs. Patriots rematch echoing Feb. 1, 2015, with Charbonnet injured and Walker as the lone threat.
